Quoted By:
The more people came to resemble each other, the more they began to hate. The desire to seize what others covet, the enmity of opponents who became what they themselves abhor, locked in competition for dominance and claims over the same wants and desires - for the most violent impulses arise from similarity, not difference.
As the old world receded, forgotten by the mercantile age, the blood thinned and the gods died. Then all that was left to the remnants of civilisation was the creation of enemies.
